Let T 1 and T 2 be the energy of an electron in the first and second excited states of hydrogen atom, respectively. According to the Bohr's model of an atom, the ratio T 1 : T 2 is:
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
Given that,
n 1 = 2
n 2 =2
Now, as we know energy of electrons in n th excited state will be.

Thus, for the given case the ratio of first excited state (T 1 ) and second excited state (T 2 ) is given as
